I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 208 The big bald head of the metropolis

Demi god?

Jacques stroked his chin thoughtfully, the merciless words gave him new clues.But the problem is that demigods are not so easy to find, and Diana will definitely take precautions against this in advance.

"One last suggestion for you. If you can't get help from Diana's friends, maybe you can change your mind—isn't there a saying that the enemy may be the person who knows you best?"

After saying this, Wu Min closed his eyes and leaned against the wall. Although he didn't know if he really fell asleep, it was obvious that he had already expressed his intention to chase away the guest.

Jacques took one last look at the iron fist of Wumin, and after confirming that the chains on his body were intact and strong, he turned and left the wine cellar.

As he said before, although Mercy Iron Fist was once an enemy, the man who was able to defeat all the gods of Olympus alone may be of great use in the future.

In the next few days, Jacques sent Walker, Suicide Squad and others to investigate clues about Wonder Woman and Amazon, while working with Barbara to control the reconstruction of various industries in Gotham. Harley Quinn, Zyra and other family members lived a peaceful life.

He is very clear about the truth that haste makes waste. Although time is very tight, he can't waste time like a headless chicken before he finds the clue.

Moreover, Jacques faintly felt that this period of time might be the last opportunity to spend leisurely with his family before the decisive battle ended.

But this day, when Barbara talked to him with a solemn face, Jacques felt that the good times were coming to an end.

"Jaquin, about the financing needed for the reconstruction of Gotham"

"Didn't I say it's all over to you, Barbara, and I don't understand these things—I have to go shopping with Halliela later in the reopened shopping center in the East End."

Barbara rested her forehead with one hand and looked at Jacques helplessly.

"Even if you say you're going to get rid of the shopkeeper, you can't be so big-hearted. What if I sell all your real estate at a low price? And there is a problem-those who invest in the reconstruction of Gotham want to meet the owners of these real estate in person, That way you can invest your money with confidence.”

"Then Barbara, why don't you come forward? I'll ask Vicky to help you contact a good makeup artist. You are a beautiful girl. If you tidy up, you will surely be able to keep those bad old men away."

"Really, don't be joking, I'm serious. It's not suitable for me to appear on that occasion in my capacity, otherwise I may be suspected of taking advantage of my father's relationship."

Barbara pretended to be angry, but judging from the slightly curved corners of her mouth, being praised by Joaquin still put her in a good mood.

Since Barbara said so, Jacques had no choice but to agree to her request and attend a fundraising party about raising funds for the reconstruction of Gotham. After all, although Jacques bought a lot of land at a low price, it is still necessary to rebuild the building later. A lot of money is required, and it is somewhat unrealistic not to ask for sponsorship.

Due to the serious damage to downtown Gotham, the party was held in Metropolis, another city across the sea from Gotham.This is also the first time that Jacques has left Gotham for other cities in this world.

Because Metropolis was once the main location of Superman's activities, it is also known as the city of tomorrow, the city of hope.Unlike Gotham City, which is full of Gothic architectural styles, the buildings of the Metropolis are more modern and technological. This may be related to the fact that the famous entrepreneur Lex Luthor of the Metropolis often provides new technologies to the municipal departments.

The amazing thing is that the two cities are just across the bay, and the two cities are not far apart, but Gotham City is overcast and gloomy all year round, while the metropolis is sunny and clear. The stark contrast was felt on the way from the port to the metropolis.

It would be great if Gotham City could be transformed into a metropolis in the future, Jacques thought to himself.In his mind, Gotham City has faintly become his hometown, and he has more or less developed feelings for him.

But the premise is that the problem of the death of the universe and Darkseid hanging over the head can be solved.

The location of the dinner is in the landmark building of the Metropolis, inside the Daily Planet Building.When he came to the front of the building, Jacques saw a huge sculpture that was shining with gold and nearly ten meters high.

This sculpture depicts a heroic scene of a man in a cloak carrying the earth on his shoulders. Although Jacques has never seen this man before, Jacques immediately recognized him from the huge S-shaped logo on his chest. Out of his identity.

"Superman, Son of Tomorrow, Man of Steel—some call him God among men."

Just as Jacques was watching in a daze, a deep voice that reminded Jacques of a poisonous snake sounded beside him for some unknown reason.

I saw a tall man wearing a high-end, exquisite and well-fitting suit who did not know when he stood beside Jacques, and the most conspicuous thing was his big bald head with no grass on it, which was shiny as if it had been waxed, reflecting the Dazzling sun.

"And what do you think of him? Mr. Joaquin Zhou."

"First of all, he is not a god. If he is a god, he should be high above him. He is moody and doesn't care about the life and death of ants. But he gave everything for human beings, and firmly believes in justice and truth. It is an insult to him to regard Superman as a god."

Hearing Jacques' answer, the bald man's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Indeed, it is a tragedy to raise him to the altar, whether it is for him or for those fools who are not seeking to improve but are looking forward to being saved."

Speaking of which, the bald man stretched out his hand to Jacques, with an inexplicable arrogance and superiority about him, but the strange thing was that it didn't make people feel disgusted, as if he was born to be like this.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Lex Luthor."

"Jacques Zhou—however, it seems that you already know my name. I didn't expect that the chairman of the famous Lex Group would pay attention to a small person like me."

The two shook hands briefly, and Luther showed a meaningful smile.

"Mr. Jacques, you should have the awareness that you have become a celebrity, whether you are the future super rich of Gotham, or as the new guardian of Gotham, leading the team to defeat the mysterious super villain who can destroy the city"

Jacques frowned slightly. Barbara kept it a secret when she helped him acquire the real estate, but it seemed that this was not hidden from Lex Luthor from the very beginning.But it's nothing, he originally planned to make an official appearance today, and didn't plan to hide it anymore.

The problem is that the statement should be that the troops led by Amanda Waller and the members of the Gotham Knights cooperated to defeat the conspiracy of alien invaders. But Luthor seems to have seen that he is the core figure.

With an unpredictable smile, Luthor patted Jacques on the shoulder in a friendly manner.

"Let's go, Mr. Joaquin Zhou, the party is about to begin."
